The Americans of Paris are said 10 be
very enthusiastic over n plan to erect
two colossal statues there of Washington
and Lafayette, and presenting them to
the French Republic. This is very
pretty and appropriate scheme but we
predict that the statues will never be
raised. II costs money to put up
monuments of this kind; even Cogges-
hall fountain can't be originally pur-
chased for any small sum, but you can
buy them second hand for a song. II
would not look well, however. to erect
any second hand statue of Washington or
Lafayette, these estimable citizens were
too well known, and anything spurious
would quickly be discovered and exposed.
The American colonists at Paris should
remember that century plant, the Wash
ington monument at the national capitol,
the Grant monument AT New York. and
the hard time that "Liberty Enlightning
the World" had in getting any thing TO
stand on.

NORTH CAROLINA GEMS.

Precious stones Found In the Foot Hills
East OF the Blue Ridge.
Despite the talk about diamond fields
in Kentucky but few gems of any sort
have been found i'm the limits of the
United States. The most celebrated
diamond beds are in India, Brazil and
South Africa, although single stones
have occasionally been picked up in
Virginia aud North Carolina. Mexico
furnishes many gems particularly
opals. but North America, while rich
in gold and silver appears to be poor
in precious stones. North Carolina
has furnished some interesting stone.
particularly the hiddenite, a grass
green gem allied in chemical charac-
ter to the topaz, but of n color previ-
ously unknown. 1t occurs in Alexan-
der County, in the foothills east of the
Blue Ridge, and was named for its dis
covcrcr, Hidden.
In the same region in Mcdowell
County where there are gold mines,
are also found in great variety stones
of more or less value. The mining is
carried on chiefly for gold by the
hydraulic sluicing system, in which
the mountain streams are employed to
wash down the hillsides The earth is
sluiced ont for gold. and all the stones
which remain in the sluices are care
fully examined. A correspondent
from the mines states that valuable
rough specimens are often found, and
rs much as the value of $4,000 in
opals. topazcs aud other fine stones
has been found in one day. and on one
occasion n diamond worth 81 900 was
taken out There are other localities
In that region that are without doubt
equally rich. Detroit Free Press
